TIL that the Punic surname “Barca”, as in the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (and his father Hasdrubal), is Phoenician for “lightning”. I don’t know how I never made the connection before, given that Phoenician is Semitic and I speak Hebrew (where the same √brq root is also used to mean “lightning”). I guess my brain is just in full on Latin Mode or something when I’m thinking of ancient Rome? Anyway - Hannibal “Lightning” Barca! ⚡️

My audio simulations are collected at ancientsounds.net (very much a work in progress).

I'm also compiling/editing past tw**ts about those audio into an alphabetically-ordered blog, so that we can look up examples:

There doesn't seem to be any work going on on the categorisation of hashtags just simplistic things like most popular lists.

I would like to see that kind of work happening.
When using hashtags you should boost the posting to get it cross-posted to other instances.

The more consistent you are with your hashtags the more likely that they'll be used by others.
